Title: NYT reporter: Misdirecting on Clinton stories is what Media Matters "exists to do"

A rare and enjoyable moment of open dissent on Alex Wagner’s MSNBC show today as both New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters and Bloomberg reporter Josh Green refuse to recognize the House of David Brock’s Hair as the legitimate news source is very definitely is.

JEREMY PETERS, NEW YORK TIMES: The Clinton campaign is certainly already taken some steps to try to get ahead of public relations problems like that, for example, Hillary resigned from the board. I think they’re going to have to be more transparent about the speaking fees because those questions are just going to keep on piling up.

What I wonder is if the Clinton message machine ever decides to kind of recalibrate and dial it back a little bit. Because right now, and this isn’t all coming from the Clinton camp itself but from the orbit around them where you have these people whose main goal is to misdirect and obfuscate every time there’s the slightest bit of criticism about the Clintons leadership.

Well, in their mind they’re not misinforming and obfuscating, they’re “clarifying.”

JOSHUA GREEN, BLOOMBERG: I don’t think that’s true at all Alex. They know what they are doing.

PETERS: Exactly. They are definitely misdirecting here. I mean, this is what Media Matters exists to do.

Peters is on a roll. This from “Morning Joe”:

Peters worried that legitimate questions about the Clinton Foundation are “going to be obscured by all of this character assassination that you’re seeing. When, in fact, the real question is not about Peter Schweizer, it’s not about whatever book he may have written about Disney before. I’ve met Peter Schweizer myself. He has very good, strong working relationships with a lot of journalists in Washington, and the guy has an ideology certainly, but I wouldn’t say that he’s an ideologue. But what we’re seeing consistently from the Clinton world, is that there appears to be no criticism of her leadership, of the former president’s leadership that is legitimate. And that is going to be a real problem going forward, because they’re basically saying ‘off-limits, anything you want to say, anything you want to report about their background, you’re biased. you have an ax to grind, and you’re part of the vast right wing conspiracy.’”

Annnd, Peters vs. Howard Dean.

The sooner you people learn to accept that Queen Bubbette! is entitled to run the country and demanding no more than her due,the happier you will be.

PEASANTS!

Pete may have some opinions you dislike but, over 15 years of seeing him post at TOS/LP/LF, no one ever considered him a Lefty.

He is a social lefty.

Lefitsts believe in abortion.

Leftists believe in queers pretending to be married.

leftists don't believe in God.

leftists call christians cultists.

Petey is surely a leftist.

I'll admit that all of his views aren't leftist. Just most of them.

He's more of a libertarian than a conservative, taken within the larger context of the average GOP voter.

However, no Lefty loves guns like Pete does. You also don't see hardly any actual Lefties living in a very rural place and restoring vehicles.

Pete just doesn't fit the Lefty profile, much as you want to brand him a dirty hippie.

I notice we have several flaming Lefty voices on LF, yet you don't single them out like this.

I worked with a lefty. His name was Jim. I learned a lot from him and he was a good guy. He loved guns. But he was a clinton leftist.

Pete responds to me more. So we have developed a deeper relationship. There are certain posters that when I see them i'm much more inclined to automatically read their posts. Because I find them more interesting. Sneaky dishes it out as much as I do.

Here is why sneaky sticks out more. Nevermind.

IMO,it's the whole God thing that fries his fritters. He becomes unhinged when I refer to his religious sect as a cult.

Some people can only conceive of the GOP (or at least its conservative base) as some flavor of the Church Militant and Triumphant.

Now they're bitter that it is obviously not believed by the GOP elite and their backers.

So they turn on anyone perceived to be a fifth column type, reserving more venom for them than for actual Lefty types (of which LF has more than a couple).

I am in complete agreement.

Your rant is silly.

I just don't care for people who call wrong right and right wrong. That is the sneak. That is a fact.
